Work on Left 4 Dead delaying class updates, but they'll return next year.

Team Fortress 2 won't receive any more class updates until 2009, reports ShackNews. Valve marketing vice president Doug Lombardi confirmed, saying "it won't be this year, but we're going to keep evolving TF2. Once Left 4 Dead wraps, you'll hear us clamoring more about [the next TF2 update]." There has been no word on what class is next in line for new loadout weapons.
The Team Fortress 2 blog has been implying a move like this lately, first stating that the development team was "moonlighting on Left 4 Dead," and more recently commenting that the next class update is going "a little slower than we'd like." Lombardi also reconfirmed that the previous updates to the Medic, Pyro, and Heavy will be coming to the 360, though no timeline has been set. This may sound disappointing, but at least both versions are getting updates eventually, unlike the PlayStation 3 which won't be getting them at all.
